Studying for an actuarial studies mid term. I can safely say that this is the most boring thing i have ever done in my life. No wonder the suicide rate for the profession is so high. Last subject in my degree.. woo woo. List is recent digs for a year thats shaping up to be epic

"actuarial studies is a core for any commerce degree. I major in marketing, so maths is something im not comfortable with. Engineering is fascinating, actuarial studies is dryer than the Sahara desert"

Its those guys that decide whether you get insurance or not based on stats, a bit like the chaps who rig the casino so the house always wins but in this case it's an insurance company.

Risk management is huge though and away from actuarial stuff it's not totally boring and can earn you a massive income working for investment banks calculating trading limits so it could be very profitable to pursue that if you can handle it.
